Climate change is a hot topic for many corporations and foundations. There is an increased demand from many of our stakeholders to understand how we as Corporate Foundations are walking the climate talk in a genuine way. We can certainly all play our part in this agenda, whether climate change is at the heart of our foundation’s programmatic scope or not.  Often questions are how best to approach it, what are the tools and practices at our disposal, what are some of the good practices we can get inspiration from, how can we fully leverage our potential as corporate foundation to have a positive impact. That’s precisely the aim of this session: to understand all the various areas where we can act, get inspired from existing practices, and jointly come up with new ideas as a way to trigger a more holistic consideration of the options that are at everyone’s fingertips.

This session is hosted by the Z-Zurich Foundation and facilitated by the Corporate Foundations Core Group. A lunch for on-site participants will start at 12.30pm.

Registration via mail to members@swissfoundations.ch. Please indicate if you participate on-site (on-site participation is capped at 20 persons, first come first serve) or virtually. Kindly note that we will accept one representative per corporate foundation to attend on-site, and will be pleased to welcome everyone else via virtual participation. Deadline for registration: Monday, 17 May 2022.
